…following on from the previous blog, "stradella" bass is a good match with Colouchord as the three major chords of any key are grouped next to each other. Annoyingly with stradella you go down the accordion for "Blue" (subdominant) and up for "Red" (dominant) but other than that it's a really good match :-)
A choir leader need only use their left hand for the accordion leaving the right hand free for conducting / gesticulating.
Looking online there are lots of £50 "kids" accordions available. They are of limited functionality in most situations as they only have an octave and a bit on the right hand, and only four chords on the left.
BUT for Colourchord this is potentially all you need. The left hand chords are F C G D so you can play Colourchord songs in either C or G. These are pretty good compromise keys i.e. most singers will be able to song any given song in one or other of these keys.
This sort of thing CHEAP ACCORDION
